On a stick

The Guest Rider wanted to see it for herself so today we tampered with the wind rule just a tiny bit and headed south over towards the rapidly emptying out Fairgrounds. The wind was mostly west and pretty strong. When wind direction did deviate from the cardinal direction it seemed to leak around ever so slightly to the north of west, something like W of WNW. But mostly west it was, no one suffered and we had a nice ride.

Today's question is how do they get mashed potatoes to stay on a stick?I know, that one is too easy. Everyone who has been to the Fair will know the answer. Pretty obviously they coat them with something and then deep fry.

This one is a little bit harder.I thought about saving that picture for a series on signs but who knows when and if such a series will occur again.

It was a beautiful early fall day.

Mashed potatoes on a stick sounds ghastly. Interesting horse crossing sign, though.

Dang it! THAT'S where that booth was! I missed it...they were cheddar-bacon mashed potatoes. Hope they are there next year.
Saw the horse crossing notice too, and figured it was to let people know to watch out for poo. Looks like a great day for a ride.
